Discussion
The interpretation as deictic adverb is largely based on the opposition with anūmma in ARM 26/2, 310 and comparison with later akannaka “here” (MB – LB, Durand 1988, 440 n. d). Hrůša 2010, 232 favors the mng. “quickly, immediately” based on the entry kinnikâ = zamar in malku (see kinnikâ). Etym. kī + (a) nnī + kīʾam?
